It's called sailing, that's what ships are for Come out of Hampshire and keep the land on your starboard [ right] and keep going.
After a while or 2 sleeps you turn a bit to the left and if you reach Swansea you've gone too far.
Listen for the lilting sounds of the Penclawdd Cockle Girls as they sing their songs of lost love and the vagaries of the EU Shellfish Processing Directive and they'll lead you home.

If it is a B/K Westerly Warwick then it would be transportable on a trailer (although I don't know the weight). You may be able to borrow/hire one from someone in the Westerly Owners Assoc.
Otherwise then csail's £400 is about right, but may depend if the transport company has a back load. A small B/K could go on a flatbed, so you wouldn't necessarily need a boat transport company.
Transporting by road is a FAR easier way than sailing round, even for bigger boats. You could rack up that in marina fees and crews' entertainments if you got stuck in harbour for a while /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

He would have to unstep the tree and umbrella because of height restrictions. Ketches always cost more /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Is that your first boat Graham?
Re flat bed trailers, do speak to pi-pi on here first. I would seriously suggest you do not do this until you've spoken to him about his sad experience.

I sailed Cobby girl from Poole to Cardiff this year. All you need is the time, which is normally the biggest problem. We took two weeks and made it our main cruise of the year. I would recomend it as I worry about boats on lorries, especially with weight on twin keels.
